How Seriously Do We Take Information Security?

We’re an IT company: you’d expect us to say that we take information security seriously – and we do.

But We Would Say That, Wouldn’t We?

We don’t think you should have to take our word for it, so back in 2014 we embarked upon the journey to certification under ISO27001:2013, the Information Security standard. We examined, refined, documented and tested every aspect of Information Security, both within Tiger Computing and extending to how we manage and support our clients’ systems. In May 2015, we put ourselves to the test. We were independently audited and were assessed and certified as meeting the requirements of ISO27001:2013.

What Does This Mean For You?

It means that you can rest assured that we take Information Security seriously; that we will continue to refine and improve our Information Security policies; and that we will be independently audited annually to confirm that we are maintaining the required high standards of ISO27001:2013.

What’s Next?

We will continue to grow our support, management and monitoring infrastructure to ensure that our clients have the very best availability of your systems – and we’ll continue building our team of the best Linux experts in the UK.

Linux Tips: Sorting Directories by Size

Various Linux commands can present file and directory sizes in “human readable” format, where they append a “K” or “M”, etc, to indicate the file size; for example:

Shell

1

2

3

4

5

6

# du -sh *

960Kauth.log.1

124Kdaemon.log

8.0Kdpkg.log.5.gz

2.1Mmcollective.log.3

56Kmessages

If we want to sort them by size, the sort command by itself isn’t much help. That’s because, by default, sort implements a lexical sort, and thus “2.1M” is sorted above “56K”, despite human beings recognising that the second is smaller:

Shell

1

2

3

4

5

6

# du -sh *|sort

124Kdaemon.log

2.1Mmcollective.log.3

56Kmessages

8.0Kdpkg.log.5.gz

960Kauth.log.1

In a short list, it’s easy to see that the mcollective.log.3 file is the largest, but what if we have a long list? The sort command now takes a “-h” qualifier which understands the “human readable” format:
